Goalkeeper Attributes

[howardrocket]

I realise most GK attributes are important when searching/scouting for a player, but I was wondering if people know, why/what the importance of 'Eccentricity' is in a GK?

 

[Tharros]

Eccentricity is how likely a goalkeeper will do something unexpected. So it is not a attribute you want to be high, but a low value in this may not be such a good thing either.

Hmmm so a value attribute of like, 7-13, is what I should ideally be looking for?

 

[Montanaro]

10 is a fine value for eccentricity. Tharros is correct.

However, if you player a sweeper keeper, especially one set to "attack" you'll need one to be highly eccentric.

Think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

high eccentricity GK usually fun to watch ...

Eccentricity at it's best [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCxe4r6SjH0"]YouTube - Rene Higuita and the Scorpion kick[/ame]

Yeah lol, I was actually thinking of posting that myself.
